Bisigato and Laphitz (2009) identified overgrazing as a cause of desertification in the Patagonian Monte region of Argentina Recent human-induced turning points in ecosystem functioning were uncovered around Volgograd (Russia) and around Lake Balkhash (Kazakhstan), attributed to recultivation, increased salinisation, and increased grazing. Successful grass establishment has been impeded by overgrazing and nutrient depletion leading to the encroachment of shrubs into the northern Chihuahuan Desert (USA) since the mid-19th century (Kidron and Gutschick 2017 ). <!--- knit those table chunk statements --> --- class: center # Indirect facilitation <img src="data:image/png;base64,#fig_ymca/indirect_facilitation1.png" width="70%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> --- class: center # Indirect facilitation <img src="data:image/png;base64,#fig_ymca/indirect_facilitation2.png" width="70%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> --- class: center # Indirect facilitation <img src="data:image/png;base64,#fig_ymca/indirect_facilitation3.png" width="70%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> --- class: center # Indirect facilitation <img src="data:image/png;base64,#fig_ymca/indirect_facilitation4.png" width="70%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> --- class: center middle # Two different stress and two types of facilitation What is the effect of indirect facilitation through grazing on the dynamic of a dryland ecosystem?
